NUMBER 25
' Plans and specification swere
authorized by the Public dock
commission for large amount of
construction at munic na term
inal No. 4, which will, bo neces-
ary at an early date to accom
mouate tno rapidly increasing
8iii)i)ini? ot the port. This nro
posed new construction includes
a shed over the outer one-half of
pier No. 2, which is nearine
completion. As this pier is 1500
loot long the shed will bo approx
imately 760 feet long and 180
feet wide. In addition it is
proposed to build the substruc
ture of pier No. 3. which will bo
1500 feet, in length and also the
substructure of that portion of
pier No. 5, which faces on slip
No. 3. The- estimates for this
work havo not as yet been com
piled but it will be in excess of
$500,000. Chief Engineer He
gardt advised tho commission
that no time should bo lost in
providing theso additional port
facilities. Tho official adver
tisements for this work will np
pear in the Record-Abstract
shortly. Abstract.
Figures compiled nt city hall
headquarters of tho Portland
paving plant show that Uliiol it.
S. Dul in established a record
for the new plant on Thursday.
Botwoon the hours of 9 u. m.
and 3 p. m. a total of 1270 square
yards of asphaltic concruto were
turned out, transported to St.
Johns and laid down as a part of
the Jcfsoy Htroot improvement.
"This shows beyond a doubt that
in tho ordinary working day of
eight hours, tho plant can turn
out at leaBt 2000 square yards,"
said Commissioner A. L. Barbur
of tho public works department.
Every square yard turned out
returns a cash profit to tho gon
oral fund of the city, besides
giving property owners high
grado pavement nt clicnper
prices. Tho Portland paving
plant procures all its work by
Mrlilintr in onon competition
with private contractors, and
never in tho history of tho old
ns well as tho now paving plant
has it been underbid by private
interests." Journal.
Another largo high Bchoil
building is needed in Portland
and probably will bo erected if
tho 3-mill tax levy for school
purposes is voted, according to
a report mado by Superintendent
Grout at tho meeting of tho board
of education. Mr. Grout said
that a now high school is an ur
gont need in tho St. Johns dis
trict to roplaco tho present James
John high, which is old and in
adequate. Tho now building,
which not only would roplaco
James John but would also re
Hoyo tho present overcrowding
of Jofforson high, was cited by
Mr. Grout as tho most urgent
school need at prosont.
In. a crowded omnibus a stout
woman vainly endeavored to get
her faro out of tho pocket of her
cloak, which was tightly button
ed ns a precaution against pick
pockets. After she had been
working vainly for somo minutes
a gentlemen seated on her right
said, "Pleaso allow mo to pay
your faro." The lady declined
with some acerbity and recom
menced her attacks on tho pocket.
After these had continued for
somo little timo har fellow pass
enger said: "You really must let
mo pay your fare. You have
already undone my suspenders
three times and I cannot stand it
any longer." New York Tele

Dunning School of Improved
Music Study
MRS. PRANK A. RICE
Announces that she has received from Carrie Louise Dunning a
diploma as an exponent of the Dunning System of Im
proved Music Study, which includes the Faelten prin
ciples concentration and the Leschetzky Technic.
Formed into classes pupils are taught by musical characters and
rhythm sticks. An ingeniously constructed keyboard with grand
staff attached, simplifies notation by uniting these two important
factors.
Each difficulty is presented in such a thorough manner that
a child of ten or twelve years can master transposition, scale
building, melody writing by dictation, the Dominant Seventh
and Modulation. The written work teaches the student that music,
as a language, they must learn to write, as well as iuterpret.
The muscles of fingers, wrists and arms are strengthened by
table technic; ear training and sight reading forms a part of every
lesson.
Mrs. Rice will be glad to show you BY APPOINTMENT
the especially made apparatus for teaching this system which in
cludes one class lesson and one private lesson each week, making
a far more economical way of acquiring a musical education.

Capital punishment docs not
deter murder. In 'the last five
years of hangings in Oregon
there were 59 homicides. In
the first five years without hang
ings in Oregon, thero were only
30 homicides. This should settle
definitely the question. Fifty
nine murders when hangings
were in voguo and only 3G when
tnnro were no hnngings is proof.
full and final, that hangings do
not lessen tho numterof mur
ders. And thero are other
equally definite proofs. Now
York, nndorcapital punishment,
had in 10 years, 4.8 and Montana
12.2 per murders nor 100.000
population. Michigan and Maine,
without canital minishmont. had
during tho same period, but 2.2
and 1.8 murders per 100.000 of
population. In the presence of
such facts, men may argue un
til they nro black in the face in
favor of capital punishment.
But they only flounder in fallacy.
Their efforts nro futile. Tho
proposal to restore tho death
penalty in Oregon is not founded
on roason or on fact. Nothing
has ocurrcd to warrant it. Fifty-
nine murders in fivo years just
before and but 3G in fivo years
just aftor hangings wero abol
ished, show how utterly foolish
restoration of killings by the
state would be. Wo ought to
bo too rational to yield to hyste
ria. Journal.
